The Beatles - Birthday
Uploaded by: KnowGuitar
Video Description:
It's my birthday today so I decided to make this video.
"Birthday" is a song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and performed by the The Beatles on The White Album. It is the opening track on the "third side" of the LP (or the second disc in CD versions of the record). This song is a prime example of the Beatles' return to more traditional rock
and roll form, although their music had increased in complexity and it had developed more of its own characteristic style by this point. "Birthday" begins with an intro drum fill, then moves directly into a blues progression in A (in the form of a guitar riff doubled by the bass) with McCartney si
nging at the top of his chest voice, "They say it's your birthday/ Well it's my birthday too, yeah!" with Lennon on a lower harmony. Afterwards, a drum break lasting eight measures brings the song into Lennon's section, which rests entirely on the dominant before returning to a third section, sung b
y McCartney and Lennon. It is among McCartney's most intense vocal performances given the range in which he sings during the blues run. This song is the only track on The Beatles in which Lennon and McCartney share lead vocal duties.
